Playing with magnets

WE USED:

* magnetic wand* assortment of small metal and non metal objects

I recently bought a magnets kit and today we had a play with it and a chat about the basic principles of how magnetic fields work (about opposites attracting and like poles repelling). We spread out an assortment of small objects, some metallic and some not, and Bubble had fun using the magnetic wand to see what stuck and what didn't.

About Me

We have two little girls in one little apartment, 'Bubble' who is five and 'Squeak' who is now three. This Blog is a collection of ideas for taking all of the little things and making big opportunities to learn and create. You don't need a big budget or a big space to learn and have fun!
It is also a place to share our ideas as we help our two girls on their learning journey with Autism.
I hope you find some helpful ideas or activities here, and feel free to leave comments or ideas of your own :-)
